GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Whenever I order lunch, its always horrible, and the only decent lunch is in the 6th 7th and 8th grade cafeteria. They never order enough snacks or drinks and its always the first 20 or 30 kids buy them up. Etc etc. Bad experience in total.
